I saw this 38-72 last summer in an auction and although I had decided to sell guns and not buy any more, I liked the looks of this gun and already had the brother in 40-72. Next I needed to shoot something with it and made that happen this fall with a mule deer…

I am lucky to have Mike Venturino as a friend, as all I need to do is borrow his equipment and I don’t have to buy my own. I go to his bullet casting room and with his help, he always has a mould or two that will work.
Finding the brass is the hardest part. I put an announcement out when I got this gun and got dies and brass from someone that had them. I bought some more brass from Buffalo Arms that was extruded from 444 Marlin brass.
Once I got bullets cast and sized, I loaded them up and went out to shoot the gun. Within 3 shots I had it regulated, it was almost dead on for my reloads.
